Teaching Programming Students how to Model: Challenges & Opportunities

摘要

Computer Science students who have one or more years of basic programmingexperience and little or no exposure to abstractions above the code level,often struggle to grasp modeling concepts and practices in more advanced softwaredevelopment courses. In this talk I discuss some of the factors that contribute tothis situation and propose a learning process in which the abstraction gap betweenmodels and implementations is gradually widened as student modeling skills aredeveloped.
